Can I just request that people not generalize from their own experience to everyone else's? If *your* core is warm, your extremities are warm, but that is not true for me, nor is it true for many other people. If I sit in my tent, in my sleeping bag, using my iPhone, on a cold night my hands will get cold if I don't wear gloves. That is why I have those works-with-touchscreen gloves; without them, my hands get ice cold if I try to read. Even if the temps are in the 40s.
I find the "It works for me so it should work for you too" attitude a little annoying as well as silly. -- Anne On Sat, Oct 5, 2013 at 10:18 AM, Peter Morgano <uscpeter11...@gmail.com> wrote: > I grew up in the mountains in upstate NY and have to agree, if your core is > warm your extremities will be warm.
